Cross Campus facilitates relationships between Yalies - whether that's alumni to student or alumni to alumni. It's powered by PeopleGrove, an expert in the field, and features ways to engage with Yale: through mentorship, either as a mentor or a mentee; with one-time advice; via an online discussion board to ask questions of fellow Cross Campus users; and by joining groups of interest. Cross Campus also features links to Yale affiliates and resources to help navigate the website, to make the most of being a Cross Campus member, and to be the best mentor or mentee you can be. Cross Campus is open to all alumni and students of Yale College, the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and the professional schools, and eventually other members of the Yale community.
